The Phone Tree

It starts with the home phone. It rings. We're napping. I don't answer it. I think we're safe. Ben won't wake up. Then my cell starts ringing. Someone is being persistent. It stops. Amazingly enough Ben sleeps through it. Then the home phone starts ringing again. Who COULD it be? Miracle of miracles he is still sleeping. Now Josh's cell is vibrating. THANK GOD he has it on vibrate. All I know is that the person at the other end of that phone had better be lying in a pool of of their own blood. And then the doorbell rings. And the dogs bark as if someone was at the gate to slit our throats. Ben's up. Game over.
